Sam Thompson, 32, who ended his five-year relationship with Zara in December, was left stunned and hurt when he discovered she had been on dates so soon after their split. A source revealed to The Sun: "Sam is obviously devastated by the news, he was with Zara for years and the break-up has hit him hard."

“He's taking some time out to focus on himself - it's completely blindsided and embarrassed him. He didn't expect Zara to move on so quickly and he's still dealing with the aftermath of the split. He's not found the split easy and has been trying to keep busy and take his mind off it by focusing on work, friends and family. But everyone can see that he's struggling and just needs to take some time out to reassess things."

Throughout the fallout from their break-up, Sam's close friends, including Pete Wicks, have been there for him, particularly following this latest development. "His close knit group of friends have stepped in to support him and his family have been rallying around him," they continued. "Although it's been a tough few months, Sam is determined to put the past behind him and move forward."

“He's looking to the future now, and all the exciting projects he's got coming up, like his and Pete's Staying Relevant Live event at the O2, which is a huge career move for him. He's also headed off on holiday and is trying to focus on doing things he loves, after what has been a difficult time following the split. He's trying to fill his diary over the next few months and keep working hard and believes this could be a fresh start for him."

This comes after Zara McDermott has moved on from the relationship with Louis Tomlinson. The Made In Chelsea and Love Island star Zara ended their relationship in December after five years together, with Zara recently confirming she has moved out of their Chelsea home.

A few months after the breakup was confirmed, Zara, 28, was spotted enjoying a cosy date with One Direction musician Louis, 33, at a hotel in Aldeburgh in Suffolk. A fellow guest spotted the duo tucking into a romantic meal following a string of past dates. The duo were seen giggling and holding hands while they dined on £100 fish and chips plus cocktails.

Amid their split, Sam discussed recovering from a relationship on his podcast, Staying Relevant , with guest Paul C Brunson. During their chat, Sam asked dating expert Paul how to handle 'being given the boot' as he noted how fans noticed how he had 'sadness behind his eyes'.

"I went through a breakup, and everyone keeps saying they can see the sadness behind the eyes," Sam said. Answering the I'm A Celeb star's question; Paul said: "This is a tough one, and this is a deep one. The first thing is that you have to identify the emotion and sit in it," to which Sam cut in to add: "Horrible."

After Zara split from Made In Chelsea boyfriend Sam earlier this year, it has now been revealed that she has bought her own property - and it’s just around the corner from the home they shared together. She bought her new home for £500,000, a source told The Sun. They said : “She bought it two weeks ago under her company name, it’s a two bed flat in a nice area and weirdly, not that far from where she lived with Sam. It will make it really awkward when they cross paths at the local pub or in a coffee shop, though."
